Joemoney: A normal killer is a scarey thought. To be willing to sacrafice one's freedom (or life) for greed or revenge is hardly normal. To take a life in defense of one's own or his family's would be traumatic enough for a 'normal person'. What it all boils down to is, if a person is going to be violent, they will do so with, or without a gun. If a person is hell bent on revenge or going to rob some one, they will do so with or without a gun. For myself, I feel I can take care of myself under most conditions but, I will not risk myself in a hand to hand confrontation with an assailiant if it's not necessary. I owe this to my family. As one matures he realizes that life is precious, and to be protected from anyone that would wish to take it away from you. As you get older, you may realize this. I have been the victm of an attack from a thug and I was lucky enough not to have been hurt or had to draw a firearm. At the same time, I didn't stick around long enough to have to answer a bunch of questions to the police. My luck I would have had some 'thug hugger' judge that would have found me guilty of maiming the bastard. If criminals are aware that the 'victim' may inflict damage or even take their life, the crime rate will go down. ~ shao
